I came across this ad and it happens to be pretty close to my house. I am figuring it must have some body damage on the non pictured side and/or interior/mechanical damage. It just seems waaay too good of a deal. What do you guys think?

You lookin to buy it for a parts car or something?

 

no i am looking for an actual daily driver. i know its good for parts but im not too sure about it. i think they are required to say if it has a salvage title and it doesnt say that so im assuming its not a rebuild

 

whats so good to be true about this?

Isnt that near KBB prices? I don't see a problem with it.

 

If your looking for a deal, it's not.

 

90K miles automatic that is a good price

They sell for a lot more here where I live and we have next to no selection

the complete list is here

i think thats reasonable...... i got my car for 7k with 74k miles

 

that price seems to be about what the market is asking for an 01 with those miles. When all is said and done with tax license etc it will probably be around 7k. If I were you I get a 6speed there are 2 in the BM both are ABP one has between 70-80k on the odo and the price is $8900 (its located in Florida)and the other has about 108K on the odo and he's asking $7000.

 

beware the tranny

 

That aint a deal...

we have in toronto these floating around

here is a deal for ya....

 

Airbags are expensive. The title condition is in question. And the miles are wayy up there. Even if you did all the work yourself parts alone would barey put you below book. I wouldn't dick with a crashed car unless it was under a grand.

 

id get it as a parts car u know but the interior is tan......

 

I agree with Collin that is junk the only thing that is good for is replacement parts and parting it out. If you get new airbags which you should if you want to trust that they work they are about 3k each and then theres the body work that is definitely not a deal if you want a car that you can drive.

 

But a Type S is usually a bit more expensive.

 

Ha, I'll sell you mine for 7k. I guarantee it runs better than that car and it has about 4k in mods. I just had the engine re-done. Sorry for the pointless plug of my car, lol. But man I'm itching for a new car and I still love my CL-S. But 3-4 years is the max I can have a car regardless of how much I love it.

Good luck on the purchase, I hope you find one you like.

 

looks like you have a 6 speed? why would you give up that reliability for the ticking time bomb that is the 2nd gen auto tranny

 

10$ says he thought it was a 6 speed

 

Lol, I have 204k on my 01 auto and a 150k on this tranny, Knock on wood, knock on wood, and it still runs flawlessly.

I haven't actually seen many threads recently with trannys dying.

 

not a good deal. my friend's got a 03 Type-S with 93k miles for $5500 sitting around. black on black.

 

i got the same but with only 120k miles for 4.7k

 

thanks for all the info guys. i have just never seen one with these mile for as cheap. they were always in the high 6's at least. And the trans was what i was most worried about.

 

+1

 

I always see cheap one's on Craigs getting sold from 4,500+
One that I did see before was $2900 with a smoked trans and 120,000 on the car.
next day I called it was already sold.
The salvage places their cl's sell usually for 3-5

 

that atlanta cl is nice

 

$3500.00 Type S with a rebuilt tranny.
